Abstract

This chapter presents a series of public policy measures that were implemented in educational contexts in Brazil and in most South American countries during the pandemic period. These measures, like guidelines, methodological suggestions, analogue and digital teaching materials, kits, and even the provision of food for the poorest members of the population, among other factors, sought to cover a wide variety of realities. The relevant fact is that many educational problems are still being faced and that these actions were incipient since they had to cover public schooling in basic education, a level where there was no experience of distance education, with the emergency implementation of remote teaching. This means that we must be more sensitive to specific actions in certain regions and also to adaptability, creativity, and inventiveness to rethink basic distance learning.
